Grade points are assigned such that an A receives 4 points, a B receives 3 points, a C receives 2 points, a D receives 1 point, and a F receives 0 points. Grades are weighted according to credit hours (units). If a student receives an A in a four-unit class, a D in a two-unit class, a B in a three-unit class and a C in a three-unit
class, what is the student's grade point average?
O A. 2.75

- Human blood is classified by the presence or absence of three main antigens (A, B, and Rh). When a blood specimen is typed, the presence of the A and/or B antigen is indicated by listing the letter A and/or the letter B. If neither the A nor the B antigen is present, the letter O is used.The following table gives the percent of a certain country's population having each of the eight possible blood types in the sample space.
